Amboro National Park - Description

Amboro park Tours

The land adjacent to Cerro Amboro were officially declared a protected area on the 23rd December 1973. But it was not until August 1984 that was legally given the status of National park (ANP) and received some protection from immigrants campesinos, hunters and logging companies.

In october 1991 the park triangular area of 400.000 acres was enlarged to 1.500.000 acres by Supreme Decree. In october 1995 Amboro National Park was reduced to 1.000.000 acres when its peripheral third was downgraded to an integrated management zone. Leer mas.....

Geographical Location

Today, Amboro is an irregular rectangle lying between 17 Degrees 15´ and 18 Degrees 10´ South y 63 Degrees 29´ and 64 Degrees 46´ West. It is bounded in the East by the river Surutu and in the West by the river Ichilo/San Mateo. The northern border runs through the lowlands close to the foothills of he Andean mountains. The southern border crosses these mountains in an irregular line from the Quebrada Surutu in the east, to Siberia in the west. To the north, east and south of the park shares a common border with Carrasco National park (Deparment of Chochabamba)

In effect the Amboro Protected Area and Carrasco National Park enclose most of the unoccupied uplands (3 million acres) lying between the southern and northern highways which connect the cities of Santa Cruz and Cochabamba.

Climate

The park lies near enough to the equator to be little affected by day length (one hour´s difference), south to experience marked seasonal changes, and cold southern winds (Surazos) that blow from Argentina at almost any time of the year. Visitors to Amboro would well advised to bear this in mind.

The warm wet austral summer commences at the end of October but it is not until the end of December that the rains gather pace and render the visitor´s itinerary. To the northern low lands less infallible, specially during the warmest months January and February when they reach their peak

he austral winter set in by the end of May, when the winds (that have up to now been mainly warm humid ones from the north) change to the south, and blow with increasing strength until the end of August. During this period the park has a distinctly temperature climate interrupted by violent thunderstorms on a few occasions when warm fronts make their way down the north

Spring arrives in the mid-September, and means temperatures begin to rise once more but with generally clear skies overhead. September and October are the driest month of the year

Topographic Profile

The topography of Amboro National Park Protected Area is sharply divided into two parts by the abrupt emergence of the Andean mountains from the relatively flat lowlands to the Noth and the East

Vegetation

With in Amboro´s vast jungle many different types of vegetation can be found, from the humid tropical forest to the low lands to the cactus desert of the valleys Mesotermicos and cloud forest of the temperate zone; and within each zone there is an almost infinite number of habitats both for plants and animals. As the mountains fall away to the east some of the vegetational zones described become much reduced or are missing altogether

The humid tropical forest of the lowands is characterized by the presence of valuable hardwoods like mahogany (Switenia macrophylla) and Verdolago (Terminalia spp.) Well known softwood like fig (Ficus spp.) and Ochoó (Hura crepitans), and a variety of palms among of Motacu (Scheelea princeps) is widely use as thatching material. Where it remains intact and humid the trees support many species of orchids, epiphytic ferns and the ubiquitous bromeliads ( Tillandsia spp.) Rising out the lowlands tropical forest curbs some way up the Andean foothills in the manner of an ill-fitting carpet, and by way of the river gorges thrust deep fingers into the very heart of the park

Where the humid carpet ends (at about 700 m) the tropical vegetation gives away to the sub-tropical forest which form a wide band (700 – 2.200m) around northern and eastern slopes of the Andes. Because it is well drain the lower tropical forest is slightly drier than may be expected.-

Above lies the true cloud forest (2.200 – 2.700 m) of the temperature high lands, where Podocarpus trees are still prevalent, together with many other more temperate genera (Weinmnia, Miconia, Prunus), In the area of Siberia the humid cloud forest is still fairly extensive and struggles over the watershed to establish itself on the upper levels of the south facing slopes.

In the highest part ( 2.700 - 3.100m) in the south western corner of Amboro, the cloud forest peters out to be replaced by puna grasslands with island of stuned trees representative of true elfin forest. Here the most characteristic species are Yaruma (Hesperomeles lanuginosa), sotillo ( Weinmannia sp.), and specier of Miconia and Clusia

The puna falls away to a range of rounded hills (2,200 – 2,500 m) which represents the upper slopes of the southern valleys. Being some what dried this hills are mostly coverd by sparse grassland and tola (Boaccharis sp.,) scrub, seasonal bogs and pools are to be found. In recent time the area has been settled and much of it come under cultivation

Descending from the upper slopes the flora changes dramatically. With now much drier conditions, semi deciduous trees (Schinopsis, Aspidosperma, Tipuana) and cacti are foud clinging to the steep hillsides. Even though it is here that the most noticeable of all the majestic species of Neocardenasia, it is on the arid floors of the valleys that these strange “tree” are really at home.

Fauna

The mammals of Amboro National Park together with the wide variety of plants life is a rich assembly of animals and insects. In the tropical forest of the lowlands and the Andean foothills Jaguar, Puma, Ocelot, Margay, Jaguarundi, six species of monkeys ( of which the Red Howler and the Black Spider are the more noticeable) Giant Ant Eater, Tamandua, Three Toed Sloth, armadillos, Grison, Tayra, River Otter, Bush Dogs, Crabeating fox, Brasilian Tapir, both white lipped, and collared peccary , Red Brocket Deer, and many small mammals, can be found. Incluiding the first bolivian record for the Water Opossum (Chironectes minimus). And along the rivers and fields of the flood plain, the Maned Wolf has been seen.

With an increase of altitude most of the monkeys, tapirs, pigs, and jaguars, drop out to give away to species such as the Spectacled Bear and Andean Cat, (Felis jacobita), but Night Monkeys,Rriver Otters, and the ubiquitouas Puma, Tayra, and Crab-eating fox can still be found in the highest altitude.

Human Settlement

The first human settlement were probably Chiriguano and Yucare Indians in the lowland and offshoots from the great Collasuyo tribes in the valleys; But it was only with the arrival of the Spanish at the end of the sixteenth century tht settle agriculture was practised. Even so the wildeness around Amboro remained untouched and has only been affected by human activity on any scale during the last fity years. Bolivia has witness a relentless movement of people from the mountains to the lower-lying land of the east during the last few decades, and since 1980 the periphery of the park has come under heavy pressure from spontaneous colonist seeking to scape of the effects of unemployment and inhospitable conditions of their altiplano homeland.
